Herbal
Wraps for Cellulite Reduction

Some spas advertise
herbal and other natural wraps. In fact, the methods and
products applied are widely varied. Let’s explore some
of the components that make up a good “wrap” experience.

Herbal
wraps. Some of the higher end spas go so far
as to grow their own “herbs” for use in their body wraps,
but that isn’t necessary for a good body wrap experience.
Herbs can be fresh, or dried and usually organically
grown is best.

Each herb has
a specific effect. Some increase circulation, another may
soothe the skin and so on.

The herbs are
steeped in very hot water (almost boiling) then special
muslin sheets are soaked in the solution. It is these herb-infused
sheets along with other insulating layers that wrap around
the body.

How
the treatments work is interesting. The goal
is to create a condition not unlike your body when you
have a fever. We all know that when we have a fever,
our body eliminates toxins by sweating.

It’s the same
principle with body wraps. The results vary. Some people
report a very intense detoxification while for others it
might be mild.

Methods of application
and content vary as well. Seaweed, mud and salt are popular
body wraps. Most often, the subject is wrapped from neck
to toe with the arms set close to the sides of the body.
This can be uncomfortable for someone who suffers from
claustrophobia.

The easiest
correction for this is to keep the arms free from the wrap.
Most people who are claustrophobic find the works and that
all they need to be able to feel free to remove themselves
if they choose.

Whatever type
of body wrap you select make certain that you feel comfortable
with the spa and that a technician is always close at hand.

Care should
be taken when selecting a salon or spa. Some things to
consider:

How long
have they been offering body wraps?

Do they have
a licensed clinician whose sole purpose is massage and/or
body wraps?

Where do
their herbs and other contents come from?

Do they offer
any special pricing for new clients?

Will they
allow a tour of their facilities prior to purchase?

Have they
had any unresolved complaints reported by the Better
Business Bureau?

Do they have
any package pricing for multiple visits?

Watch your local
publications for coupon offers. This can be a good way
to try out a service at a bargain. Ask your friends if
they have had a body wrapping experience and whether they
enjoyed it and what kind of results did they experience.
You may even want to check for “two for one” specials and
try it out with a friend!

Whether the
experience reduces your cellulite or not, if you follow
the guidelines you are in for a pleasant experience. Who
knows, you might just like it enough to include it in your
long term personal care budget!
